Conditions for access and use of legal document retrieval web services

ABSTRACT

Documentation is essential to daily legal practice. On-line access is current practice. The conditions imposed by an information service provider with respect to access and use of this documentation determine the value of such documentation. This paper identifies the need to regulate on-line service access in more open environments: to specify the conditions that hold for each individual service, providing a basis for determination of conditions for configurations of services.
